I'd love to see an R rated Gotham City PD where they are caught in the middle between insane villains and vigilantes.<br /><br />While I really like how well Deadpool did I think its success was as much to fortunate timing as anything else. They released on Valentines Day weekend and were fortunate to have very little competition (Zoolander2??? Was the public really clamoring for a sequel?)<br /><br />By Saturday, word of mouth made Deadpool the movie to watch for the obligatory date night. It's this year's Fifty Shades of Grey.Kevin Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092721842140433268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-84827663962944623442016-02-17T19:09:25.666-07:002016-02-17T19:09:25.666-07:00"It's possible both of these situations c..."It's possible both of these situations could be correct at the same time." <--Yeah, that.

I really want to catch up on movies.<br /><br />I've heard complaints already that The Dead Pool is a hit because it's original, and Hollywood is obsessed with copying ad nauseum whatever is a hit instead of concentrating on being original, so next we'll see a bunch of Dead Pool ripoffs.<br /><br />Or maybe that's just me being cynical.<br />Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-20316686744490122792016-02-17T15:13:57.607-07:002016-02-17T15:13:57.607-07:00I haven't seen it and probably won't ever ...I haven't seen it and probably won't ever see it, but going with an R rating is probably going to limit the audience.

PG (and 13) movies will always be the big money makers, so they're not going to quit doing that, and Marvel Studios is certainly not going to change up their style.<br /><br />However, with Wolverine, they had a hard time holding the last one to PG-13, so I can see them not applying the brakes on the next, though I haven't seen anything about an R-rated Wolvie movie. The one I saw them talking an R for is X-Force, which will have Deadpool in it, so that makes sense.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-41784737815318164882016-02-17T08:14:13.913-07:002016-02-17T08:14:13.913-07:00MPAA ratings are pretty inconsistent.

Watchmen was R rated for graphic violence and Billy Crudups cock flopping around. Anyway I guess they figure R is the new PG13.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.com
